Swapping Spanish Keyboard to US Keyboard

I brought a new MacBook Pro 13" A1708 late 2016.

The problem is I bought one with a Spanish keyboard while I was in Mexico. The thing is I'm more comfortable with the US keyboard.

I already ordered the uppercase with the US keyboard & batteries.

Does anyone has a step by step video or instruction to help me swapping the uppercases?

If I were you, I would simply return that top case you bought and just buy a keyboard skin/overlay. This machine is not meant to be repaired and replacing the top case would be an absolute nightmare. You would have to gut the entire machine and hope you can fit all of the electronics into a 3rd party case. Not worth it!

You can buy a keyboard skin for the EN language here.
